- If this is missing, prizes will not be paid out.
- To qualify for rewards, screenshot tournament results and post them in the in-app tournament chat to be eligible for prizes.
- If this is missing, prizes will not be paid out.
- Players must show respect towards fellow participants unless the tournament organizers encourage trash-talking.
- Regardless of the above rule, racist, hateful, homophobic, or derogatory speech targeted at users, community members, or staff will not be tolerated.
- For games with ranking systems, participants should use their highest-ranked account.
- Playing under someone else's name or substituting for another player is strictly prohibited.
- The use of any kind of bots in-game is not allowed.
- Tournament organizers have the right to disqualify players who arrive late or fail to show up.
- Tournament organizers cannot compete in tournaments they create if they wish to be eligible for tournament administration fees.
Joining a Free or Sponsored Tournament
There will be two tournament types, Free and Sponsored Tournaments. Free tournaments will not have any currency staked. Sponsored tournaments will allow you to win prizes with no risk.
To find a Tournament to participate in, go to the ‘Tournaments’ tab as shown below.
Here you will find a listing of available Tournaments. You can also apply criteria to your search by using the filter ( A ) on the upper right-hand side.
Once you have found the tournament you’d like to join, click on the ‘open’ option and join!
You can find your enrolled tournaments on your profile page by clicking ‘Joined Tournaments.’ You can also see the tournaments you’re hosting by selecting ‘Created Tournaments.’
Organizing a Free or Sponsored Tournament
To organize a tournament, select the ‘Create New Tournament’ ( A ) option at the top of the tournament screen.
The following steps are to select a game you’d like to organize; then, you will need to fill out general information such as:
- Tournament name
- About
- Schedule
- Rules
- Public or Private
- If your tournament is private, generate your code before proceeding to the next page.
- Schedule
- The start date and time will be in your local timezone
- And the option to add a banner
When the information above is filled out and proceeding to step two, you will need to select:
- Mode
- Player vs. Player or Team vs. Team
- Type
- Player vs. Player
- Duel
- Battle Royale
- Team vs. Team
- Duel
- Player vs. Player
After selecting your mode and tournament type, click ‘Publish’ to successfully create your tournament!
Currently, we only have one winner slot; if you’d like more than one winner, add it to the ‘about’ section and announce it in your tournament chat. We will manually distribute prizes accordingly.
Public vs. Private Tournaments
Tournaments can either be public or private. Public means anyone can join and is listed in a searchable database.
Private is for invited participants. After creating a tournament, the organizer can send invites to users within and outside the system by copying the invite link and sharing it with whom they’d like to invite. Creating a private tournament is a better fit if you’d like to play with specific players or if you’re hosting multi-round competitions.
If the tournament is private, contact your Tournament Organizer for the code.
If you’re looking to make some friends to compete with, join our Discord!
Tournament Types
There are three tournament types:
- Duel
- Battle Royale
- Single Elimination
- The Single Elimination feature is currently not accessible in the Closed Beta, but click here to see how you can use the Closed Beta version to create a Single Elimination tournament.
A Duel Tournament is a simple player vs. player or team vs. team match where the game's objective determines the winner. (I.e., most points, kills, higher score, etc.)
A Battle Royale tournament is a multiplayer-style match with players or teams competing against each other until one player or team remains standing. The Closed Beta version of the app does not support Team vs Team Battle Royale.
A Single Elimination tournament is a knockout round where players/teams are eliminated after losing one game/match, and the game winners continue to play until all but one player/team has been eliminated. The single player/team remaining is the winner of the tournament.
